NEW POETRY FROM ISABEL SOBRAL CAMPOS BRINGS LIFE TO THE WRECKAGE OF ENVIRONMENTAL COLLAPSE
Blue Figure Press to release second poetry collection, How to Make Words of Rubble by Isabel Sobral Campos.
As wave
or pyre
Oyster silks
glittering eye
deceivingly
at heels of tuff
I become situated in the imperturbable
tunnel opening onto sea
The wind rumbles operatic
Rage, coliseum of hurt
Another sentence slips
amid tones of grey
into a stranger’s open
mouth interloper trapped
by straying fly
trickling fangs
because the world is lost
I have a child who waits
about bfp
for the recognition of beauty in things as they are
for the celebration of the spontaneous
for the reestablishment of the primitive heart
for the word as life
for the liberation of all beings
